WAREHOUSE & SHIPPING ASSOCIATE
Daily mission: Help store, showcase and ship our incredible collections for our enthusiastic collectors!
WHO ARE WE?
At Richmond Auctions, we view ourselves as caretakers of incredible collectibles until they pass on to the next person for their love and enjoyment. We have a reputation for hosting some of the most exciting and successful petroliana and automobilia auctions in the country, and have a strong track record of selling rare and collectible petroliana, americana and automobilia items at premium prices. A passion for automobilia, gas, soda, oil, specialty firearms, and other collectibles is what drives Richmond along with an unrelenting focus on customer service. Our goal at each auction is to bring the highest quality and rarity seen in the automobilia, petroliana and firearms collectibles industry, and to do what we do, we need someone to assist on the front end of our business. We know how to work hard and have fun. And we think we're just getting started. We believe great customer relationships is the answer to many things. But our question to you is, "How will you step up and kick ass with us?"
WHO ARE YOU?
The most excited person in the room, forklifts down! A master of multi-tasking, you can plan to receive a pickup of a precious rare collectible at our facility across town, organize the recent acquisition and storage of our most valued collectibles that arrived in the main facility, and ship out some of the existing amazing gems all at the same time from our most recent auction - with one hand behind your back! You exude confidence, calmness, and focus when there are a million things happening at once. You have a gift for efficiency, and your quick wit will keep your teammates on their toes.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
In support of the warehouse operations team, you assist in keeping information flowing through the right channels to supporting our trucking routes across the US and organizing the post-acquisition, storage, and distribution of our collectible inventories. You are responsible for ensuring the movement of that high quality inventory is performed effectively, carefully and on time. This position requires you to perform various warehouse duties, such as sorting, loading, unloading, and receiving materials. In addition, shipping inventory as required to our customers will be a core component to this position.
You are a people person that works with multiple departments within the company in preparation to sell inventory at auction. The warehouse and shipping associate's role is pivotal in ensuring the seamless movement of our precious inventory from start to finish to ensure it is displayed to our auction standards for an exciting auction experience for first our customers, then all our us at Richmond.
As a member of our Customer Service team (which includes everyone at Richmond btw), you will keep our front office in the know, process internal requests, and be an info hub for both our curators and the extended warehouse and logistics team to be able to send a beautiful piece of memorabilia home with one of our enthusiasts. And on occasion, you'll be responsible for selecting the song for our 3:00pm dance parties.
